Mooneyhan Entertainment Group to make Jax entertainment center?

[JeffreyS]

Agreed I see no future of him developing anything.

It sounds more like Webb was politely brushing him off than anything. I'm sure council members have to deal with people like that all the time.

Well then if the less land deal is not for a more compact design and for Mooneyham then they are as crazy as he is.

I wouldn't assume it's dead yet at all. An international architect firm has their project design samples on their website, so it appears to be very much alive, but obviously pending funding and launching.

Well the problem is now, where is going to put it? If we decide to consolidate the transportation hub, that would free up the land he wanted. If we dont, he's complete out of luck unless he trys some of the shipyards property.

This thing is pie in the sky.  Give me the convention center, incentives, public grants, all the historic fund money and non-payback loans and I'll cook up a redevelopment project too.

[jcjohnpaint]

oh come on I can create a website dedicated to a dream I have without having any money.  Kill this zombie thread!

[iMarvin]

I hope this isn't dead and wasn't a 'pie in the sky', but if it is/was, I appreciate the company showing Jacksonville like that and putting it at the center of what it was doing.

Mooneyhan is persistant. He will not go away. The film studio isnt pie in the sky alone. If you view the entire project, you will realize what everyone means.

Yeah, some of it does seem like it'll never get built (like the theme park or the Jax Beach thing) but a studio is realistic and if that is a success, I do see more of it getting built.

I just watched the video on YouTube... it made me smile in a "this will never get built" kind of way. There's no way a Hard Rock Cafe, House of Blues and Planet Hollywood would all get built downtown, not to mention all of the other things portrayed in the video. It's nice to dream big though...

I'm assuming this is it.

Two words - pipe dream.

It sure would be cool if he pulled it off.... But winning the lottery would be cool too, and there is probably a better chance of that.
